SYNTHESIS One-Day Immersion

This is your invitation into a space of radical interconnected emergence.

SYNTHESIS one-day immersion provides a pathway for individuals seeking an embodied, therapeutic, and relational, approach to spirituality.

At the heart of this work is a technology that we call Dark Ceremony.
We use the word Dark to refer to the primordial essence of all existence.

This ceremony invites all of us to open our bodies and consciousness to feel, sense, and vibrate together with the Dark.
From that place of deep, meditative resonance with the Dark, we have the potential to become more in tune with each other and with the natural impulse of Life.

We listen together for where and how the energy wants to move within and between us.
This ritual can be a powerful experience of purification.
Any patterns of thought or behavior that are distorting a person's access to truth, love, and freedom will be brought to the surface to be seen and alchemized.

ARC OF THE DAY:
Our purpose for this day-long immersion is to prepare ourselves to go into the Dark Ceremony together.
The first part of the day will focus on building a group field of connection, coherence, and solidarity - creating a feeling that we're all in this together.
From there, we will engage with practices to hone our abilities to sense the Dark and attune to one another.
This is essential so that in the Dark Ceremony, we can feel a greater sense of freedom - to truly honor the Life impulse as it comes, without holding back for fear of being too much or doing it "wrong."

The second part of the day will be the Dark Ceremony, with time at the end for a sharing circle and integration of the ceremony.

ABOUT SYNTHESIS:
SYNTHESIS is a wisdom school standing at the intersection of group field work, psycho-somatic modalities,  shamanic temple arts, and esoteric teachings. Our immersions and retreats offer an embodied, therapeutic, and relational approach to spirituality, where ancient wisdom meets a modern understanding of the nervous system, the psyche, and the soul.

At SYNTHESIS, spirituality is not separate from everyday life. We believe that awakening is meant to be lived in our relationships, our work, our choices, and the way we show up in the world. Rather than escaping life, we learn to bring soul into every part of it.

We hear the call for soul work that bridges consciousness and ascension with embodiment and descent. We recognize the need for transformational spaces that don’t simply facilitate you, but listen with you.

SYNTHESIS represents a transition from the traditional paradigm of single-pointed leadership, to one that is self-organizing and emergent – where we sense ourselves as one group body, listening together for Life to lead.
